Well Folks
I've been looking at my Bluecharts and trying to define State Waters out of St. Marks. Looks like this weekend is a blowout so the next time I go grouper fishing I am going to have to know where that 9 mile line is. Kind of difficult if you try to use the nearest point of land because that coastline is pretty irregular. Any sugestions?
I think I will try a little catch and release grouper fishing out around 24 just to see what happens.
Definition of State Waters 9 Miles

“Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes.”
Easy enough. Thanks Wevans.
I have looked all over charts for note X for years. Now I know and I have found new stuff on my blue charts.
Too bad some of my best spots are just east of the line but there is some good bottom between 24 and 26.
I have heard that out of St. Marks that there is good bottom as shallow as 18'. Got my boat a little too late last spring to get the shallow water grouper bite but I'm ready now.
Good luck everyone.
